At that time, friends who enjoy Infinite Terror must continue to support it. Thank you all. Recommendations, collections, subscriptions, and monthly votes are the greatest support to me. Thank you.

Zheng Zha tossed all fifteen gold bars onto the ground, staring coldly as the two Americans reveled over the bricks. With one hand, he accepted the Necronomicon, a thick, black, ancient tome.

It was impossible to tell what material the Necronomicon was made of. Even after fresh blood had been spilled on it for just over ten seconds, the still-steaming blood was completely absorbed, just as a sponge soaks up water, though the Necronomicon itself showed no change in appearance. On the contrary, the area he held felt intensely cold.

“Acquired Plot Item… Grants the ability to learn Necromantic Dark Magic. The learner must possess Vampire Energy, Psychic Energy, Mana, Psionic Power, True Essence, Immortal Spirit Power, Divine Contract Power… to utilize it. You may decipher the text to learn independently, or you may return to the ‘Main God’ space to learn, which will cost one thousand reward points… Before returning to the ‘Main God’ space, you must possess this book to use the skills written within.”

Zheng Zha stood there, dumbfounded, clutching the Necronomicon. He had heard the ‘Main God’s’ announcement perfectly, and the string of requirements had nearly scrambled his brain into a chaotic mess.

Enhancing attributes was expensive, but skills based on those enhancements were even more so. For instance, his mutated Vampire Bloodline enhancement was already costly, but Vampire skills were outrageously priced. His ‘Red Flame’ was among the lowest-tier Vampire skills, yet it still cost a C-Class sub-plot plus two thousand reward points. Compared to attribute enhancements, skills were the fundamental key to instantly raising combat effectiveness! “How is it? How is it?” Zhang Jie, closest to Zheng Zha, immediately rushed over the moment he saw Zheng Zha spacing out.

Zheng Zha didn't know what to say at that moment, so he could only grin foolishly, “Damn… this is too sweet! We’ve really hit the jackpot now… such a thick book. I wonder just how many skills are inside. Holy crap, they’re all Necromantic Dark Magic spells—doesn't that mean they’re all powerful skills for murder and plunder? Haha…” The rest of the team members gathered around. O’Connell and the other two newcomers listened, confused, and they clustered around too. Only the three Americans—the two uninjured ones, after securing the gold bars, quickly mounted their horses with the third American, who had his eyes and tongue removed by the mummy, and galloped away. Before long, everyone could only see three distant silhouettes kicking up dust.

Zheng Zha let each person touch the Necronomicon. The six experienced members all displayed expressions of shock and awe, while the newcomers just felt the veterans were making a mountain out of a molehill. Xiao Honglu quickly inquired, “In the ‘Main God’ space, is enhancing Legendary Magic skills very expensive?” Zheng Zha nodded, saying, “Extremely expensive. It’s not just Legendary Magic skills; any skill that can immediately boost combat power seems incredibly costly… not only do they consume vast amounts of reward points, but they also require Sub-Plot Credits. So, a book like the Necronomicon basically represents potent combat strength. If we can use the spells within, we can instantly multiply our team’s combat effectiveness several times over!” Xiao Honglu also touched the Necronomicon curiously, then suddenly squatted down to play with the sand, plucking a few strands of hair with his other hand.

“What exactly are those Vampire Energy, Psychic Energy, Mana… what are those things?” Xiao Honglu asked calmly.

Zheng Zha replied, “I’m not sure about the others, but the Vampire Energy is a secondary ability gained after enhancing my Mutated Vampire Constitution. It’s inherently highly corrosive when used, but it’s very difficult to wield, and Vampire skills are all quite expensive…” Xiao Honglu sighed softly, “I more or less understand… this book is a double-edged sword. At least for us right now, possessing it means danger. First, that Undead Priest will definitely keep pursuing us to kill us and reclaim the Necronomicon. Second…” “Do you think the Indigenous Team knows about the special nature of the Necronomicon? Even though it’s a Plot Item, touching it triggers a notification from the ‘Main God.’ Given this book’s value, the Indigenous Team would undoubtedly want it. We might be attacked by them with lethal intent…” Everyone looked at him strangely. Zhang Jie said, “Aren’t we already planning to fight them to the death anyway? We have to kill at least one of them, or most of us will be erased when this horror movie ends, right?” “Fighting to the death can be done in many ways. For example, we could snipe them upon contact, or use sneak attacks, set traps, or guerrilla tactics… in short, there are many ways to fight. But if they learn the secret that the Necronomicon is also useful to a Reincarnation Team, they might closely monitor the plot characters. Once they realize the Necronomicon is missing, they will naturally guess it’s in our hands. In that case, seizing the Necronomicon prematurely is tantamount to beating the grass and startling the snake; a surprise attack will become nearly impossible. Furthermore, I worry about one thing…” Xiao Honglu gently plucked another strand of hair, and after scattering it with the sand in his hand, he said with a bitter smile, “…If the Necronomicon is the spellbook for Necromantic Dark Magic, then… what about the Resurrection Sutra? The other golden book, what kind of skill book is that? I imagine it can’t be worse than this one, right? If the Indigenous Team knows the secret of these two books, I see two possibilities: One, the Indigenous Team plans to ambush us in Cairo, then follow the plot progression to bury the Undead Priest step-by-step and take both books back to the ‘Main God’ space. Or two, the Indigenous Team plans to ambush us in Cairo… and take the Necronomicon from us or the plot characters, and then return here to seize the golden Resurrection Sutra. This is precisely what worries me most… Are their mission objectives for completing this horror movie the same as our objective to bury the Undead Priest?” Xiao Honglu stood up from his squatting position, dusting off his hands with a wry smile, “Our mission is to bury the Undead Priest. What if their mission is to protect the Undead Priest, or perhaps… to kill the original movie’s male and female leads? If that’s the case, we might not even have time to kill a single one of them before this horror movie is forcibly terminated. Most of us, carrying a deficit of two thousand reward points, would then be erased. So, what should we do then?”
